Awesome weekend planned!

I have made plans to meet up with a friend that I have not seen since 1999.

We first met in 1993 whilst working at the same place in Cape Town. In 1994 we briefly shared a flat until I decided to go travelling and moved to London. In 1997 she also decided to move to London and we once again briefly shared a flat. I left (notice a trend) later that same year to go travelling.

She still lives in the UK and besides a brief visit to Scotland in 1999 when we met up I have not seen her since.

She is in South Africa visiting family in the Garden Route at the moment and we have decided to try and meet half way – PLETTENBERG BAY. I can’t wait. We are just going to go through for the day tomorrow but it should be awesome.

Not only am I going to meet up with her but I also get to see one of my favourite places on earth! I love the Garden Route and she and I used to spend a lot of time there. It will be like old times – except that we are both 16 years older, married, she has a 6month old baby and I am 9 months pregnant. As I said – just like old times.

Reasons why I love PLETT! (photos taken when we did the Robberg Hike in Novemeber 2008)

I love meeting up with old friends. It’s a great reminder of the little things that make us truly ourselves that we sometimes lose of the years. When I’m feeling in a rut, it’s always the old friends I turn because they can help me be a better me.
